The 11 speed Shimano vs 10 speed SRAM Apex conundrum. I have 2 different bikes with these two drivetrains. I like both but for different reasons. Normally I would say go with the Shimano, but I cannot stop thinking about how damn ugly that bike is. The SRAM equipped bike in my eyes at least, is much nicer looking. I don't think that for the price you can wrong with either.
